Naughty Messy Nature

N.M.N. is a partecipatory project. The co-authors of the works are not humans, but infinitely tiny microorganisms: fungi of mould. The individuals portrayed in the N.M.N. series reject any kind of traditional definition in terms of gender, race or species. Identity is viewed as the result of a collective and interactive process, and as a transitory concept: every image captures a special and unrepeatable moment of the figure’s constant transformation. The N.M.N. portraits are not meant to refer to concepts such as decomposition and vanishing, but to celebrate the wonderful, unpredictable disorder generated by biological processes.
